The Relationship Between Work Engagement and Organizational Citizhenship Behavior Among Millennial Employees in Yogyakarta

Abstract

This research aims to determine the relationship between work engagement and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) among millennial employees in Yogyakarta. The hypothesis proposed is that there is a positive relationship between work engagement and OCB in this demographic. The subjects of this study comprised 72 millennial employees working in Yogyakarta with a minimum working period of one year, selected using a purposive sampling method. Data collection was conducted using the Work Engagement Scale and the Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale. The data analysis technique employed was the product moment correlation from Karl Pearson. The results of the data analysis revealed a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.675 with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant positive relationship between work engagement and OCB. The acceptance of the hypothesis in this study is further supported by a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.455, indicatingthat work engagement contributes 45.5% to the variance in OCB, while the remaining 54.5% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study, such as perceived organizational support, transformational leadership, employee religiosity, job satisfaction, and organizational culture. These findings suggest that enhancing work engagement can significantly foster OCB among millennial employees, thereby contributing to better organizational performance and culture.
